So I’ve heard that at age 23 people don’t like you anymore….well I think guys already don’t like me so I guess I win at this game. New Year, the dating department has officially become even harder to jump into.

What age do you become sour milk?

Remember in high school when all of the guys would date girls that were like 4 years younger than them? Is that still the case now? Like is anyone my age going to want to date me or are they looking for girls younger still? I mean like most guys my age don’t really have their sh** together anyways so I usually go for guys a few years older but sometimes they act older than they really are and that’s another turn off.

Is this the year I should be looking for my husband? I mean like I kind of have an expiration date coming soon, after 30 it’s game over and the dating world becomes even harder than it is now so maybe at 23 I should be looking for Mr. Right and not DJ FuckBoi.

Let me rephrase this…I go out on dates, yes, but at 22 I wasn’t picky. I swiped right on a lot. Why? Because I wanted the experience, I feel like I’ve been too narrow-minded when it came to dating so I tried to get out of my comfort zone, to see what I like and what I don’t. So now at 23 should I be switching up the game?? Reflect on what I’ve seen and only go for guys who I think are PERFECT?!

I know what you’re thinking….why is she so worried? Well, I, like many other women think far far in advance….I’m 23, I need to be with someone for like 2-3 year til we move in and have some dogs (dogs not kids) that would put me at 25ish then another 2-3 years before getting engaged, that would put me at like 28. Then I’d get married by 30 and have kids by 32 (even though I don’t want kids). [Insert realllyyy long breath]

So yeah, at 23 I’m terrified. I’m afraid at some point I’m going to get sick of dating, stop trying and then I’ll never meet the right person. Maybe I’ve met the right person already? I really don’t know but I’m not giving up on serendipity. What is meant to happen will happen.

So year 23 I will still go on dates, play the field, keep opening my eyes to new and interesting people and if the right person comes along they come along. YOLO
